Whats wrong with the biostar mobo?

 

[claptonman]

Biostars are known for their less-than-good quality. And the gigabyte one John posted is AM3+, just in case AMD releases some good CPUs eventually...

What RAM are you getting?

 

[Benny Boy]

If it's NE, here's $7 if your staying with that case (1 fan).

hey, if you live near a microcenter you should go there for the mobo/cpu, you can get a 960t for 120, then if you get one of the mobos in their list it's 40 off.
